Removal of a baby tooth in a child in Kharkiv
Removing a baby tooth is an extreme dental measure that is used only when it is impossible to save the tooth. At the FamiDent clinic in Kharkiv, we perform this procedure as delicately, painlessly and with the child's psychological comfort in mind.
We always try to save a baby tooth, but in cases of severe decay, inflammation, or risk to a permanent tooth, extraction becomes the best and safest solution.
The procedure is performed quickly, with modern anesthesia, so that the child does not feel fear or pain and has a positive experience from the visit to the dentist.
How is tooth extraction performed?
The procedure for removing a baby tooth in children is usually quick and painless thanks to modern methods of anesthesia.
- The procedure lasts a few minutes and is performed under local anesthesia.
- after removal, a small protective clot forms in the well;
- the child is recommended to refrain from eating for 1–2 hours;
- on the first day it is advisable to avoid hot and hard food;
Usually, healing is quick, without complications. At FamiDent, we always leave recommendations for parents and stay in touch if necessary to monitor the child's condition after the procedure.
When should a baby tooth be removed?
The removal of a baby tooth is only performed when other treatment methods are ineffective or impractical. The main goal is to preserve the health of the gums and ensure the correct formation of the permanent bite.
- Severe tooth decay - when caries does not allow it to be restored.
- Inflammation is the presence of infection or complications in the root.
- Disruption of eruption – when a baby tooth interferes with the permanent tooth.
- Tooth trauma - cracks or fractures of the root.
At the FamiDent clinic in Kharkiv, we always try to save a tooth if possible and remove it only for clear medical indications.
